Replace rvm with rbenv for lang-ruby #905

Replace rvm with rbenv for lang-ruby.

Additionally, you're a Ruby developer, right? What do you think of Gitpod's default Ruby setup here? I personally have no idea about Ruby, but I strongly suspect that developers much prefer rbenv over rvm these days. Also, it seems that all the Ruby projects I know using Gitpod have implemented a custom Dockerfile to "undo" Gitpod's rvm setup and instead ship their own setup. This tells me that maybe our default Ruby isn't helpful and might even be a nuisance.

Problems

rvm has no releases after 2021-01.

@axonasif While you are assigning this to yourself, are you really working on this?

I would love to use rbenv instead of rvm. Right now I'm not even able to setup my environment through init using rvm and ruby 2.6.1 :(
